"I'm not dead! I'm not dead!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
In the quiet night, I only heard a woman's shrill and wild laughter, which gave people the feeling of being a crazy laugh from the depths of hell in the middle of the night. I felt that Zhao Shuyuan's emotions were about to collapse. If she didn't stop her, she might not be able to bear such pain.
So, I used a color to Alan and Susu, and we hurried forward and grabbed her.
"Empress Shuyuan," I looked at her and said, "You are sick, go back and rest quickly."
When my hand touched her, I felt that her skin was hot all over her body, but her eyes were particularly bright under such a high fever. She looked back at me, suddenly grabbed my wrist, pinched it hard, and then lowered her voice and said to me with an indescribable excitement: "Do you know, everyone thinks that my son died in Qingmei Villa."
“…”
"But no."
“…”
"I know if it's not, my son is not dead. He was sent away by that bitch Yin Ruohua!"
“…”
"It's because I know her secret!"
“…”
"Her secret...her secret, I knew her secret, so she sent my son away, and she sent my son away..."
I just felt my heartbeat was about to stop. When I spoke, my voice was so hoarse that I almost didn't recognize myself. I slowly asked, "What is her secret?"
Zhao Shuyuan stared at me with her blood-cold and red eyes, and said word by word: "The prince is not her son!"
“…”
"She gave birth to a daughter!"
“…”
"She used her daughter to exchange for a son with Nangong Jinhong!"
The moment I heard her telling Queen Yin’s secret, I was empty.
I don’t know how to breathe, I can’t feel my heartbeat. It seems that the blood in my body is condensed at this moment, and the whole person loses the perception of this moment.
It was not until her hand squeezed my wrist hard and the severe pain of being almost broken that I woke up from such a trance. I shook a little and looked at Zhao Shuyuan's eyes. Her eyes became chaotic after a moment of tranquility, and even became a little crazy.
"I know her secret, but I don't want to know..."
“…”
"I don't want it!"
“…”
"But why do you do this to me? Why do you do this to me!"
As she spoke, her mood fell down again, like an aggrieved child, with a crying voice in her voice.
I felt that she had completely lost control, so I hurriedly called Alan and Su Su together, half-held and half-carried her towards the room before. When we walked into the room, when we felt the breath in the room, she suddenly tensed up again and reached out and grabbed my wrist hard: "My child, where is my child?"
My hand was so painful that she could only grit her teeth and try to coax her as calmly as possible: "Empress Shuyuan, your child is not here with me."
"It's obviously here!"
She stared at the surroundings with wide eyes, and then looked at me again: "Don't think of lying to me, I remember, I remember, this is a temple! It's here that I gave birth to my child!"
“…!”
My heart sank again, but there was no time to say anything. The three of us tried hard to send her who was struggling to the bed, but she refused to rest as she was still struggling to sit up and look for something. We could only barely hold her hands and try our best to calm her down.
I don’t know how long she has passed, and she has been struggling all the way, and she is sick again, and finally has no strength.
Lying on the bed panting, her originally excited gaze slowly became weak and confused because of the loss of strength. After a while, she began to cry again.
We slowly let go of her hands, and she no longer struggled. She just covered her face with her hands. Hot tears flowed out from her fingers, wet her hair and pillow. Looking at such an old man and crying helplessly, we were all feeling uncomfortable and unable to speak.
Alan snorted coldly: "What are these things?"
In the eyes of people in the world like her, they want to avenge their grudges. For people like them, it is difficult to imagine the intrigues and plotting people's hearts in the royal family. Such human tragedies are really hard to accept for them than real fights.
I sat beside the bed, looked at Zhao Shuyuan panting, and said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing happens in the palace every day and every moment."
Alan was stunned when she heard this, and she turned to look at me.
I smiled faintly: "I have been in the palace for so many years and have seen too many."
"So, what have you experienced?"
"I?"
I turned my head, looked at her flickering gaze, was silent for a while, and then said, "My first child was not in the palace."
“…”
"That night, the child's father was by my side."
“…”
"But, we have no way to do anything."
“…”
"In the palace, it is already difficult to protect yourself, and you must save your child..."
Speaking of this, I smiled bitterly.
Alan looked at me, and the original sarcasm and coldness in her eyes seemed to be melted by the warmth in the room, and then slowly faded away. She frowned slightly and reached out to pinch my shoulder: "Girl..."
Su Su next to her was already crying: "Miss, you are wronged!"
Looking at them like this, they had never experienced anything, but they seemed to be pulled into my memory by my words - it would be fine if they didn't mention some things, but when they mentioned them, they were invisible harm to themselves and others. I hurriedly made a smile: "It's all over, and I almost forgot about it."
As I said this, I looked down at Zhao Shuyuan again. She was slowly falling into a coma, but she was still sobbing in her mouth.
I told Su Su: "Go and get some water and wipe it for her."
"Why."
Su Su wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and ran out. I looked up at A Lan again, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and then said, "So, is this Pei Yuanxiu's secret?"
“…”
"The reason why he wanted to kill your friend and let someone burn this Huangze Temple was to destroy these people's mouths and keep that secret?"
I nodded calmly: "Yes."
"He is—"
"He is the crown prince. He was chosen as the heir to the dynasty and should have inherited the throne."
Alan frowned: "The person who should inherit the throne is not the blood of the royal family."
"yes."
Not only is he not the royal bloodline, but even-
He is not even the son of Empress Yin, nor is he the son of Lao Yao!
This perception made me messed up.
His life experience was so complicated. He originally thought that the illegitimate son of Empress Yin and Lao Yao was the most unspeakable secret in the royal family, but he did not expect that even this identity was just a superficial identity. His real identity was actually Nangong Jinhong's son.
Empress Yin exchanged her daughter for Nangong Jinhong's son!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In fact, such things are not uncommon in the harem. There are too many cases of concubines who have changed their daughters to compete for favor in order to win over favors. Isn’t the ancient books still record the strange thing about the raccoon changing the prince?
However, those are legends and stories. When such things happen in front of you and when the people in the story are right next to me, it is still a bit unacceptable.
Who would have thought that His Royal Highness, who was praised by so many people, was promoted to the outstanding morality by students in Jiangnan. He was not the emperor or even the son of the queen!
and--
Nangong Lizhu.
When I think of this name again, I can no longer explain the sorrow that aroused in my heart was born for.
This once most beautiful woman in the world, obviously, should have been cared for by millions of people, but she has experienced so many ups and downs in love, and has not yet found her own home.
She is the real golden branch and jade leaf.
How ironic is this?
And now I understand why Queen Yin randomly recognized Xue Muhua as her daughter after she went crazy. At that time, everyone thought it was strange that she obviously had no daughter, but she could only explain it by her crazy and unconsciousness. Now, the facts are very clear.
She really has a daughter.
Moreover, this daughter was exchanged for someone else since she was a child and did not enjoy the maternal love she gave for a day, so she must let Nangong Lizhu marry Pei Yuanxiu, because at that time, Pei Yuanxiu was already the crown prince, and her daughter could be called the crown princess and the future queen. This is the best way she arranged for her daughter.
However, it seems that it is very clear whether it is really the best.
As for Nangong Lizhu...
She is the daughter of Yao Lao and Empress Yin.
Yao Lao’s daughter...
I suddenly felt a sudden trembling and my whole body trembled. Alan sat next to me and was shocked when she saw me like this: "What's wrong with you?"
I didn't say anything, but I had quickly searched for scenes of the past in my mind.
Pei Yuanhao said - when they were in danger in Jima River Valley, he almost died of blood. It was Nangong Lizhu who exchanged his life for his life!
Also, when Jixiandian and Nangong Lizhu finally left Pei Yuanhao, I saw that bloody wound in his palm!
Could it be that this is true!
Nangong Lizhu is Yao Lao's daughter, and Yao Lao's physique is special. He once told me that his bones and blood are all spiritual medicines. So, as his daughter, Nangong Lizhu also inherited this physique!
